About Me

CURRENT MISSION

world peace

ABOUT ME

I'm Psychologist but I'm also a craftsman. I like to create any kind of things with clay or other materials.My style is to have no styles! I just want be myself in the way I am! I like so different things that I can't stay in one category. Also I like people that don't want have a label!

PHILOSOPHY

I am buddhist and I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo but I have huge respect for other religions.
If you don't know anything about it I just can tell you that I don't pray any kind of gods. I chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo to let my buddahod comes out for being a better person and to be happy. The final goal of this Buddhism is to create a peaceful society based on the respect for every kind of life.
All the people are potential buddha (it does mean wise and compassionate person), all the people are worthy of respect...even when we don't like them for any reasons. Just think that a bad person is just an unhappy person...and so...let us become completely happy!
